Ingredients

• 1 egg
• salt to taste
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 ½ cups bread crumbs
• ½ teaspoon garam masala
• ¼ cup vegetable oil for frying
• ¼ cup frozen green peas
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 carrot, peeled and diced
• ½ cup fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the potatoes, carrot, green beans, and peas in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Drain vegetables, transfer to a bowl, and mash with a potato masher, leaving a few small chunks.

Step 2

Mix the egg, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, garam masala, cayenne pepper, and salt into the bowl with the mashed vegetables. Form the mixture into small patties about 1/2 inch thick. Dredge the patties in the remaining bread crumbs to coat.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and fry the coated patties until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
